I have a reserach grant at DEIS (Department of Electronics, Computer Engineering and Systems) at the Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna.

Here I graduated in Computer Science Engineering in October 2004 with a thesis entitled: "Analisi e progetto di un sistema multi-agente per l'interazione avanzata docente studente: Agenti e Servizi".

I got my Ph.D. degree in April 2008, by discussing the thesis "Meta-models, Environment and Layers: Agent-Oriented Engineering of Complex Systems"


My current research activity is mainly focused on:

	Software Engineering
	Agent Theory
	Agent Oriented Software Engineering and Methodologies
	SODA Methodology
	Coordination
	Multi-Agent Systems
	Software Development Process
	Agent-oriented Situational Method Engineering
	Model-driven Development
	Interactions and Communications

Other areas of interest are:

	Security Engineering
	Security Patterns
	Software Architectures
	Architectural Styles
